In reply to the discussion: Hillary's Only Hope To Tame Worst Habits: A Real Primary Challenge - Preferably From Elizabeth Warren [View all]Segami
(14,923 posts)14. Agreed. And too think..
...Hillary has yet to 'officially' announce her candidacy. Once that day arrives, she will be met with a 1000' tsunami wave of rightwing attacks (old & new).
"...It's not difficult to figure out that the problem here is that the Clintons make themselves a target with the way they do business, and the Clinton Foundation combined with the latest public records scandal is just a reminder of what that's like...."
How would most people feel if they heard their local priest or minister say:
"...Yes, the Mafia gives us money. Do we agree with everything they do? No, but they're helping us build a new refectory for our church including a new church school bus. . . . Lets tell our churchgoers how the Mafia earn their money (extortion, prostitution, drugs, murder, etc..) and let our churchgoers make their own judgements."
Yesterday, Bill Clinton had this to say about The Clinton Foundation donations:
We do get money from other countries, and some of them are in the Middle East, former President Bill Clinton said, after being prompted on stage in a question and answer session. The United Arab Emirates gave us money, do we agree with everything they do? No, but theyre helping us fight ISIS and they helped build a university with NYU. . . . My theory about all this is, disclose everything, and let people make their judgments.
